WARNING: NOID POST ALERT!
1. The Rock
- Being able to be a great champion as a face and heel is the most important factor in my mind in choosing the best WWE Champion.
2. Hulk Hogan
- Only a 4-time champion, but made the belt what it is today.
3. Stone Cold Steve Austin
- His first title win officially started the Attitude Era.
4. Shawn Michaels
- His first title win is still one of my favorite matches of all time. Was able to be a great champ as a face and heel.
5. Bret Hart
- Hart's Wrestlemania win over Yokozuna after losing to Owen is one of my earliest fondest wrestling memories.
6. Triple H
- His number of titles and lengths of reigns are just impossible to argue with.
7. Bruno Sammartino
- Two-time champ, first reign lasted 8 years and to quote WWE.com
"Bruno Sammartino faced off against the hated Buddy Rogers at Madison Square Garden. Sammartino used a dropkick, backbreaker and a crushing bearhug to dethrone the champ."
8. Undertaker
- Won his first title relatively early in his WWE career and has stayed consistently in the title picture for the next 17 years.
9. Mick Foley/Mankind
- His first title win put WWE in control of the Monday Night Ratings War and they never looked back.
10. Bob Backlund
- Sixteen years between title reigns
Honorable Mentions:
Ted DiBiase
- He almost bought the damn title from Andre The Giant. How great is that?
John Cena
- Love him or hate him he has held that title for fucking ever at times. Next month will be one year since Cena has been champ. Anybody else think that was even possible?
Edge
- Him cashing in the Money In The Bank was my last mark out moment, until recently when The Brian Kendrick scored a pinfall in the Scramble.
